Medicine
The antibiotics prescribed to you for treatment by a doctor should be taken as the doctor directed, until they are all finished. In other words, don’t stop taking your antibiotics when the symptoms disappear. There are some antibiotics and medications which work for both throat and genital infections, so please be sure to tell the doctor what medications you are on before you receive your consultation.

Exams
Throat STD exam:
Not all clinics do exams for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, so be sure to check before you go whether your clinic will do the exam. In case you want to test just the throat, you can also go to some ear, nose, and throat clinics.
Free clinic:
Depending on where you live, your local free clinic may have free testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis and Hepatitis B. You can receive free HIV testing anywhere in the country.
Antibiotic sensitivity test:
There are many different types of antibiotics, and hospitals may prescribe any number of these. In order to find out which antibiotics are most effective for you, you can take an antibiotic sensitivity test.

Insurance Card
Your insurance will cover your STI test if you say that you have symptoms of an STI; your insurance will not cover your STI test if you simply say that you want to be tested (just like if you ask for a health exam without any symptoms). Because it’s sometimes up to the individual clinic to decide whether throat symptoms will be covered, it’s best to ask beforehand whether your insurance will cover it or not.　For those of you who either don’t have insurance or who don’t want others who share coverage with you (for example, family members) to know what type of clinic you went to, you can also see a doctor without using your insurance. In this case, you can also use a fake name, but you will have to pay the full amount yourself.
